Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

Skin Conditioning, Solvent

Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.

So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.

You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

I was very skeptical about this product but once I tried this, my eczema on my forehead significantly reduced. Acne-prone and sensitive skin will EAT this up.

HOLY GRAIL! I was struggling to keep a rosacea flare up under control for a whole month and decided to try this serum. It saved me since day one of use. No more redness, irritation bumps almost gone, rebalanced oil production. 100/10

The best for calming irritated skin. It won't do much for you if you don't have any irritation that you want to soothe, however, it gives me instant relief when I need it. That's why it doesn't belong in my daily routine but I do use it here and there as a sort of spot treatment for irritation or damaged skin barrier and it's never failed me.
